Overview:
Elastic Hosts cloud server farm is built using Linux KVM – the advanced virtualization platform built into mainline Linux – which means that your virtual server is entirely independent of others on our farm and fully configurable by you to your needs, unlike solutions using only OS-level containers such as Virtuozzo. Standard installs of Debian Linux, Ubuntu Linux and Windows Server 2008. Many open source install CDs available, including Red Hat Fedora Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris.

Features:
Elastic Hosts cloud servers are designed, configured and supported for all forms of web hosting, unlike Amazon EC2 which is a general purpose solution not well-tailored for web hosting, or Google App Engine which is limited to Python applications running in their proprietary environment. Burst to on-demand cloud server capacity when your own servers are full.

Summary:
Instantly add cloud computing capacity for growth or peaks in demand. Maintain backups in the cloud of your servers elsewhere, ready to bring online. Create prototypes & demos on our cloud servers for instant capacity, with no commitment and globally accessibility. Buy exactly the capacity you need, when you need it, by the hour or by monthly subscription.

Reliability and Uptime:
100% availability guaranteed for your running cloud servers. Credit of 100 times the fees for any period of unavailability. See Terms of Service for legal terms. Completely independent systems in two locations near London. Buy capacity on both for ultimate redundancy.
